    “A Rose for Emily,” many components that may be initially dismissed in a passage, through intelligent writing, gather a deeper meaning.

However, many features linked to Homer leave the reader asking questions of the purpose and meaning behind his character. Each interaction with his character seems purely plot driven initially, but as the story unravels, they adopt a deeper meaning, forcing the…
